Physics Journals and Impact Factor


I have chosen for you some Physics journals and their impact factor (2021) from Scimago Journal & Country Rank (scimagojr.com) site.

The impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year.

A journal’s Impact Factor for particular year = Total number of times articles were cited during the two previous years / total number of citable articles in the journal during those two years.


The impact factor of 10 or greater is considered an excellent score while 3 is considered as good and the average score is less than 1.
